Ford Consul Classic. 1961-63
Early versions had the 1340cc engine and later models had the 1500cc engine.
Customers had the choice of column or floor change.
The bottom half of the car was a scaled down version of the US Ford Galaxie with a Lincoln Continental roofline.
And the Coupe version: Ford Consul Capri.
In February 1963 a GT version was announced. The new GT engine, developed by Cosworth, featured a raised compression ratio to 9:1, a modified head with larger exhaust valves, an aluminium inlet manifold, a four branch exhaust manifold and, most noticeably, a twin-choke Weber carburettor – this being the first use of this make on a British production car.
